The MIT School of Engineering Celebrates 300th Anniversary
The MIT School of Engineering is a unique institution that is in the heart of the city of Boston. This is not a school for the general population, but one for the most brilliant, skilled, and accomplished individuals of engineers, scientists, mathematicians and other technical fields. In the very beginning, the School of Engineering has attracted a very small but distinguished group of students, including six distinguished professors and an accomplished professor. The faculty includes three Nobel Laureates and one of the most distinguished faculty of the MIT, Professor of Mathematics. The School of Engineering has also welcomed several distinguished graduate students such as the world renowned nuclear physicist, Prof. Balakrishnan. The School of Engineering has always been one of the most prestigious technical fields at MIT and has a very large alumni network.
About MIT: MIT is a world leader in innovation, collaboration, and technology, producing breakthrough discoveries in computing sciences, engineering sciences, and other areas of science and engineering. The MIT is the second largest institution in the world for engineering. MIT is the primary research and engineering university, a premier provider of graduate education, and the preeminent place where engineers and scientists get advice on the problems of everyday life. MIT has been ranked one of the top 10 universities in the world for three consecutive times by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
As MIT celebrates its 300th anniversary, it has established a mission to help us explore the world, and we’ve designed a new program to support the work of our engineering faculty. The MIT School of Engineering celebrates its 300th anniversary in 2014, and we have created a new program for our faculty and the undergraduate students who work in the School of Engineering. Our two new programs are: the MIT Elegant Environment program, aimed at faculty and students, and the MIT Digital Media Masters Program, aimed at professional engineers.
Our new program has an exciting new focus: to expand our education beyond the walls of the School of Engineering to help the rest of MIT grow, especially our digital media programs, and to help us prepare students for careers and careers inside of MIT. We want to create the community we need to succeed.
It’s a big idea. The first step is to create a program that will help everyone at MIT to understand the value of digital media, both academically and technologically.
Anne White resigns as SoE Distinguished Professor of Engineering.
[ Editor’s Note: This is the second in a three-part series on how the internet and the network-centric world of information technologies have changed life sciences research. In the first part, Dr. Conder of the National Institutes of Health discussed some of the most important developments in science and technology in the last few years, including the discovery of new molecules, the development of high-powered supercomputers, and the development of online-accessible, web-based scientific articles.
The recent appointment by President Obama of a distinguished professor of engineering as the director of the White House Technology Office represents a significant change in the intellectual life of the government agency charged with developing the United States’ technology-policy agenda.
The president’s choice of Anne White, a prominent biophysicist at the University of Maryland, in addition to her current position as the chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Maryland School of Engineering, represents what has been called “the most radical reorganization of the interagency bureaucracy in a generation.
Anne White’s appointment and the president’s decision to put her “on a short leash” indicate that the president is determined to make the government agencies responsible for the production and dissemination of information technology policy and direction more efficient, responsive, and effective. By reducing the number of positions in the executive agencies that oversee information technology policy, the president is attempting to make government more responsive to the needs of the various constituencies most interested in information technology policy and development.
White’s appointment, first reported by the Washington Post, is the beginning of a series of changes in the interagency bureaucracy of government policy that are intended to make government more information technology policy-oriented. The White House is setting standards for information technology policy that will be set administratively by government agencies, the National Science Foundation, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
A Conversation with Professor Sally White
I am a very fortunate person who has been given the opportunity to teach in a university for many, many years. I have found that teaching makes students very happy and satisfied with what they do and what they see on their computers. I have also been very lucky to be surrounded by a number of wonderful individuals who are very supportive of my work and the work of others. I am very proud of the work that I do and in the end I hope the world will know how much I appreciate it. I consider computer networking to be a fascinating field and enjoy discussing it with my students. I recently attended an important workshop by Professor Michael J. He talked about the many exciting, challenging issues we face, including protecting ourselves from online threats and how to make security and privacy easier to achieve. One of the things I was interested in hearing from him about was the different ways that we attempt to communicate today, including our mail, the Internet and our electronic devices. I was very interested in what he thought about this topic and we have both given our time to this topic and other interesting topics over the years. Professor McAfee recently passed away. We are all very saddened by this loss. I am very honored to be included in a tribute video for his memory. He had a way with words and in a way we can all share that way which will be very fitting. I look forward to his return and to talking with him again.
The new edition of the journal Computer Networking by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is now available. The latest issue contains articles by 23 authors and covers topics in many areas of the technical, engineering and research enterprise. We invite you to read the articles in the February 2017 issue.
The first article in this issue, which was authored by Paul G. Allen and Stephen G. Smith, deals with the theory and practice of how to develop and validate distributed object systems. Paul and his colleague at Bell Labs have devised a framework for building systems from open-source code, and they also introduced a number of techniques to help with the creation of high-quality systems.
Paul’s article describes the main ideas behind the new technique called the distributed state machine. Paul has a background in computer science and mathematics and is a co-developer with Stephen of the technique called the distributed state-machine compiler.
Vannevar Bush is an experienced professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
Article Title: Vannevar Bush is an experienced professor of electrical engineering and computer science | Computer Networking.
I am pleased to see the author of the first part of this article, Dr. Vannevar Bush, coming up publicly. I was a colleague of his for many years at Princeton, and a long-time student of his, I feel that I have the right to make the following observations.
First, I hope the reader will accept the view that I regard the author as an outstanding teacher, as well as an excellent scholar. Also important from my viewpoint is the fact that his position as an academic is extremely important. It has an effect on the curriculum. It has an effect on the intellectual status of our nation. It is essential in the future that the educational and research programs of this country should be based on the same principals which were applied to the curriculum of the Princeton faculty some 35 years ago.
The author of the first part of this article is an extremely talented teacher. He possesses a great command of elementary and advanced elementary mathematics. Moreover, he has a keen sense of logic, a sense of how to put mathematics together so that its logical content is intelligible. His subject matter is mathematics. He can do it without the aid of a textbook. He can teach the subject matter to his students at any level. He can, with patience and the use of patience, give them a broad and deep understanding of it, with the aid of good teachers. I know of no other teacher who, in the course of his academic life, could give his students a broad and deep and intelligent grasp of the subject matter of mathematics.
The author is an expert in many mathematical subjects. I can think of no other teacher of such excellence and distinction. I am quite sure that he can also teach the mathematical subjects to his students, both elementary and advanced, at any level. Indeed, I am certain that he can teach them with the aid of good teachers, both elementary and advanced. What does that mean? I mean that he will be able to teach them with a sense of logic.
The author knows about the history and intellectual basis of mathematics. The author has given an excellent historical and philosophical study of the history of mathematics.
